Nobody sees a bias when they agree with it. Fox news is as biased as everything else one way or another. Journalistic credibility is like military intelligence. They are oxy morons. Until we have robot reporters flying around making observations there will never be objective reporting. The reason the left hates Fox news so much is because their ratings are so high. Otherwise who cares if they spin the news. This scares them because people usually want to watch the bias that they agree with. If Fox leans right, and their ratings are high, they fear that more people will be leaning right. If you want the "real" news (chuckle), you have to take in a story from as many sources as you can possibly get your hands on and even then, the truth probably lies somewhere in between. At its very basis language developed to communicate emotions and needs which will always find their way into people's reporting, either with what they report, or what they don't report. Its no shocker. Its human. And its not just Fox news. Which is why the left claim right wing media is a problem, and the right claim left wing media is a problem. Choose your truth.
